This blog introduces old books and magazines, some in living memory but many forgotten, from Sri Lanka and the world. It wants to show people publications, great and small, they may have never heard of. It's dedicated to writers and editors who loved their work, even if it may have brought them little money, and to all book lovers. It's for you and me.

Foreign magazines (all languages)

This is a French government publication dating back to 1944. As the title suggests, some space is devoted to articles about Asia, though this issue is mainly about France. Understandable enough, one presumes, as this issue came soon after the liberation of Paris by Allied forces.
The photograph is taken from an inside page and shows a woman member of the Free French forces in Paris.

About Me

I'm curator of my own museum at home (see www.junk lover.com) and librarian of my own home library. Maybe it's library and archive both. Anyway, I'd like to share all the books, newspapers, mags, catalogues, brochures, leaflets and photographs (see www.retroheliographers.com) I've collected over 25 years. I'm writer, cartoonist, photographer (mostly amateur), traveller, friend to stray animals, collector, and opponent of prejudice and dogma. I have largely given up travelling to manage my collection, work, and do these blogs. I'm middle aged and find that agreeable. I collect, I do not hoard, and I believe in give and take. I hope my blogs give you some pleasure and absolutely no pain.
